Am I lazy freeloader because I still live with my parents

I still live with my parents. My parents are understanding and supportive of me and my friends don't care if I live with my parents or not but my family is making me feel like a pos and a lazy person for still living with my parents. So I female 22 have had a lots of issues in my life. naming some of them I have severe depression and anxiety. I also have anxiety tics when i am really anxious. At one point I didn't want to leave the house because of them. I also have adhd and so I have adhd stims. I also have epilepsy. And not the vacant ones or the ones that go unnoticed. I have had grand mal seizures since I was 11 and They started when I was at school during recess. If you don't know what grand mal seizures are they are the seizures that take over your whole body and you pretty much shake a lot and move around. People also call it the flopping fish. it took years and lots of doctors to figure out that I do infact have epilepsy. I have gotten some really bad injuries from seizures that I have had. Not to mention I'm a very clumsy person. But I have put my teeth through my lip and had to get stitches. I got stuck under the kitchen counter and the fridge and ended up messing up my shoulder and wrist really bad. I was in a shoulder brace and wrist brace for months. This is also how I found out I have very loose ligaments. I used to cheer, do gymnastics, and dance but I had to stop when I iwas 15 because I almost tore both my acls at the same time. I have always been flexible but my hips pop out of place I popped 3 vertibrae out of my kneck onen time. I have done just about everything. I recently found out My patella was 15mm too high and 10mm over to one side. Thats why my knee caps kept popping out of place. I had to get surgery to fix it. It was a major knee surgery and I will eventually have to get my other knee done too. I also got told between 20-30 years I will need to have surgery on both my shoulders and both my hips. I am not trying to sound like I am lazy because I have a full time job and have had a full time job since I was 16. Granted I did end up taking some time off after I tried to commit to the permanent dirt nap. so I am making money and I am helping out around the house. I did buy my own car. No i do not have my license yet but I'm working on it. I buy my own food and clothes and pay my own bills. My parents say that I have a lot more obsticles than others do and its okay that its taking me a bit longer to do things. However my dads side of the family look at me and talk to me or behind my back like im some lazy girl who doesn't want to move out or grow up. Its really getting to me. Are they right? I just keep thinking that maybe I'm using my parents and taking advantage of them but they keep saying I'm not and they are happy to help me out and in no rush for me to more out and to take my time. But I can't help but feel like a POS for still living with them. Reddit what do you think?
